Is it narrated from the Righteous Caliphs that they did not raise their hands with the takbir in prayer?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to raise his hands with the takbir (Allahu Akbar) in four places during prayer: the takbirat al- (opening takbir), when bowing (ruku'), after rising from bowing, and after standing up for the third rak'ah. This has been narrated by thirty Companions, including the Rightly Guided Caliphs Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Ali. Scholars have confirmed that the narrations regarding raising the hands are mutawatir (mass-transmitted) and that the Companions acted upon them, condemning those who did not. As for the narrations cited by the Hanafis against raising the hands, they are weak and cannot be used as evidence.
